Rebirth of England.

Chapter 754 Social Season

As late May approached, Cameron announced another series of appointments, including the director of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service.

Veteran intelligence officer Alex Young will be the new director of MI6.

Just as Barron had said before to his intelligence adviser Nigel Inkster, he had a secret meeting with Alex Young before that. After that, this senior and experienced intelligence officer in the British intelligence system came into Cameron's sight and was eventually appointed director of MI6, which can be said to be the highest position held by British intelligence personnel.

"So John Smith's troubles are over for the time being?"

Barron asked casually during a phone call with Ivanta.

"Yes. After that, the Attorney General never 'harassed' him again. Although we don't know whether he has given up the investigation and there is no definite progress for the time being, at least the Sinclair Group will not be greatly affected."

After meeting John Smith last time, Barron did not ask him about the follow-up of the matter - he did not want to give the other party the illusion that he was "also involved" in this matter. He only learned some of the circumstances through Ivanta.

It seems that John Smith was very smart this time to sever his relationship with the prisoner. As long as he cannot be linked to the whole incident, there is no need to worry too much about this matter.

But speaking of John Smith, his wife Jenny had just returned to London and moved into the Earl of Bute's mansion in Chelsea.

Because June is coming soon, the British social season is about to begin.

When it comes to the British social season, the one that everyone is most familiar with is the Royal Ascot held in the third week of June.

But in fact, the British social season is made up of a series of events including the Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot and Henley Royal Regatta.

Every year when summer is approaching, gentlemen and ladies will dress up and participate in this series of activities...

Although Jenny has lived in America most of her life, she was born into an aristocratic family in England after all. She has participated in this event every year since she was a child, so she will not miss it as long as she has time.

As for Barron, he would of course participate in more important occasions, such as the Royal Ascot. There is a horse farm in his estate, and he would be invited to attend this event every year, and sit in the most important position next to the royal family.

In the past, Bonnie had always accompanied him to these activities, but in fact, Bonnie was not very interested in such activities that emphasized form over substance. Now that the two have divorced, although Barron still asked her to accompany him to participate, it seems that his ex-wife would rather stay at home with the children...

Richard is too young to be with Bonnie at home, while Barron will bring his and Bonnie's first son, George Cavendish, heir to the Dukedom of Devonshire, to these events.

"If possible, I don't really want to go to those activities..."

At the Earl of Bute's house, Countess Chris, Bonnie and Jenny were chatting about the activities of the social season, while Barron talked about King's Cross with Earl of Bute at the bar.

"I passed by there a few days ago and felt that the construction of King's Cross seemed to be a bit too slow. It was not much different from what I saw half a year ago..."

Hearing Barron's complaints, Earl Bute shrugged:

"This is London. The main reason is that the construction was too slow during the winter. Now it has started to speed up..."

Ian Boot said helplessly:
"After all, here, many projects have too many people giving orders. Environmental protection, cultural protection and even community associations will constantly give us opinions and ask us to modify the plan. Although it is not difficult to deal with, it will also affect the progress of our construction..."

“How are Argent Property Group’s projects in Australia and India?”

"I have to say, Barron, as a major shareholder of the company, you don't care enough about Argent..." Earl Bute said with a smile:

"Of course, you are focusing on those big projects now. But speaking of it, after the development in the Asian market, I am very optimistic about the potential there. Several projects in Mumbai are satisfactory. Well, some high-end areas there are not bad, as long as you ignore the slums..."

While Barron was talking to Earl Bute, he noticed the look Jenny was giving him from the side of the woman next to him, which contained some meaning.

Soon, Barron felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw that it was Jenny who sent him a message on WoawChat:
"Come out with me later."

Seeing this news, Barron nonchalantly asked, "?"...

This woman, yesterday, was here in her room, and he had just spent a long time studying with her and the Countess. What was she trying to do?
"Didn't you say last time that you had some toys in Neverland? I'd really like to see them."

Well, Barron had some doubts. She might not have come to London to attend the social season, but because she had a fever and wanted to give her a few more shots herself...

……

"I heard you were planning to take a round-the-world voyage?"

In the basement of the villa that belonged to Barron in Neverland, after Jenny had tried many interesting toys as she wished, she asked Barron weakly.

"It's not really a round-the-world voyage. For now, we're planning to depart from London and head for Colo in West Africa."

"When are you leaving?"

"After the Royal Ascot next month..."

"Such an interesting thing, I want to participate too."

Last year, Colo purchased two Type 23 frigates from Britain. After that, the two frigates, named "Britta" and "Lotti", were renovated in a British shipyard, and the Colo Corps also sent some personnel to receive training.

It was originally scheduled to be completed in May, but due to many reasons, the construction period was extended. Therefore, the two frigates and some related equipment will be transformed in early July and will depart from England and arrive in Colo.

Barron is also planning to take this opportunity to take his female companions on his super yacht Devonshire Poseidon and follow the two frigates to complete the voyage from England to Colo, West Africa.

On the one hand, he can take this opportunity to experience the feeling of long-distance sailing. After all, he has not taken a decent ocean voyage since he ordered this super yacht.

On the other hand, with two warships following, safety will be very guaranteed.

According to the plan, the female companions that Barron will bring will include Bonnie, the Countess, Catherine and others, as well as his children - by then Tamaran Ecclestone should have completed giving birth and will be able to participate.

Now that Jenny had heard about the voyage plan from Bonnie and the others, she strongly requested to participate, but Barron didn't care.

After all, the Devonshire Poseidon is big enough to accommodate more people.
